River ,'Objects In Space'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
It was...totally eighties. And Christopher Lambert's silly made-up accent was annoying. And the villain was ridiculously over-the-top. And the mythology was poorly explained and didn't make a lot of sense. It was not that great a movie and didn't really stand out among all the other cheesy eighties fantasy movies.
You've just described my reaction to Labyrinth.
Ah ha ha! I was just introduced to the term Spock-blocked, which describes what happened to Kirk in the movie.
And this was termed Spockkake.

Ha!! I haven't seen that movie in years, but I'm pretty sure I liked it. Labyrinth, Legend, Willow, Krull, those are cheesy eighties fantasy movies I loved. Although I have not seen them since I was in the eighties (or possibly nineties), so I don't know whether I'd have the Highlander reaction to them now.
(Did all cheesy eighties fantasy movies have one-word titles? Damn.)
For the record, I love (and own) Highlander.

Cineaste!
Everyone I know who likes Highlander are big stoners.
Well, now you know one who's not.
Spockkake.
Oh, as usual, dear.

Two.
In fact, I own 3, count them, Three, Highlander movies and several seasons of the tv series.
Don't hate me.

Unpossible, as there was only ONE movie.
Firmly living in denial of anything related to a so-called "quickening".
